Sponsor's own description

Studies reveal that the Covid-19 virus can be transmitted in three ways: respiratory tract, direct contact and feces. The incubation period is estimated to be 5.2 \[4.1-7.0\] days for the 95% confidence interval and the virus transmission coefficient (R0) baseline growth number is 2.2 \[1.4-3.9\]. The main signs and symptoms described in the literature are; other atypical symptoms, particularly fever (98%), cough (76%), myalgia or fatigue (44%); sputum (28%), headache (8%), hemoptysis (5%), vomiting (5%), diarrhea (3%) and shortness of breath were detected. In addition to lymphopenia, which is detected in 63% of cases, pneumonia is also present. Widely regarded as the cornerstone of pulmonary rehabilitation, exercise training is the best way to improve muscle function in COPD and other chronic respiratory diseases. After 326 patients hospitalized in the pandemic clinical services of a public hospital were randomly divided into the experimental (n=168) and control groups (n=168), the effect of the experiment on the respiratory parameters of the experiment will be monitored without any intervention in the control group, while deep breathing and coughing exercises will be applied to the experimental group. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of deep breathing and coughing exercises on respiratory parameters in patients treated for pneumonia due to COVID-19 disease.
